Stay current with emerging OT/ICS threats, vulnerabilities, and industry best practices, and provide advisory support to clients accordingly.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams (SOC, network, compliance) to ensure OT security controls are effectively integrated into the broader security program.

Hands-on experience in the design, deployment, and configuration of Armis in OT/industrial environments.

Proven experience conducting OT/ICS risk assessments, vulnerability assessments, and security audits.

Solid understanding of ICS/SCADA architectures, protocols (Modbus, DNP3, OPC, Profinet, etc.), and industrial network components.

Familiarity with OT security frameworks and guidelines such as NIST SP 800-82, NERC CIP, and ISO 27001, in addition to IEC 62443.
